The emperor's edict ordered Daiyu to enter the court as an official and assist the crown prince Liu Hong in promoting compulsory education, which did not attract too much opposition.

Except for a few slightly pedantic elders who disagreed, the DPRK and Chinese officials were more silent. It is estimated that the emperor and several bigwigs in the cabinet had expected this for a long time, so they suddenly proposed this proposal.

In fact, the reason is very simple, if what Sage Kong didn't do at the beginning was done in the hands of their generation, it could really be passed down through the ages.

From the idea to the formulation of the compulsory education policy, Daiyu completed it almost entirely by herself, and even Jia Cong, the first person to put forward the idea, only assisted from the side.

Women are women, as long as they can really promote education and education for all, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will be written in the history books because of this eternal event.

In the 4,231st year of the Yellow Emperor era and the 14th day of August in the eighth year of Xia Yuanyou, the emperor ordered the crown prince Hong and the princess of Wen'an to preside over the implementation of the compulsory education for a hundred years......

This strategy was in a certain month, the prince Hong got the help of a certain waiter (Langzhong, Yuanwailang......

Such a timeless event is definitely not something that can be accomplished by one company. When the time comes, they can help in a small matter at a certain time, and they will be able to leave a strong mark in the pen of the historian.

Hey, what's wrong with the woman? That's Princess Wen'an, can she be an ordinary woman?

For a while, the sound of long live in the temple was endless, and many people had even run to Daiyu to congratulate him, and by the way, he patted his chest to say that it was a grand event for the ages, and if he needed help, he was obliged to be a disciple of a saint.

Fengtian Hall became noisy because of a holy decree, and the palace imperial history originally wanted to rectify the order, but was stopped by the emperor raising his hand.

The special court on August 14 was for this matter, and when the matter was finished, the emperor left the hall silently.

Today's Fengtian Hall is the home of the crown prince Liu Hong and the princess of Wen'an, Lin Daiyu, the two of them greeted each other one by one with Zhu Wenwu, until the end of the time, for more than an hour, the civil and military in the hall were almost dispersed.

Xia Shouzhong sent Daiyu's official robe, and the Ministry of Rites' compulsory education secretary Lang Zhong was a civil official of the five grades of the Zheng'er Eight Classics of the National Dynasty, wearing a green robe and embroidered white pheasant.

"The emperor said that although the princess is a daughter, she has Ling Yunzhi, and she is not weaker than any man in the world, so the official uniform should be the same as others."

When everyone heard Xia Shouzhong, they all looked at the official clothes on the tray, which were indeed the same official robes as other officials, and the emperor even prepared Daiyu's court clothes, official clothes, and regular clothes, including Liang Guan, Pei Shou, Wat Board and other things needed.

"Do you want to try it out?"

The crown prince Liu Hong was approved by Lin Ruhai, Jia Cong and others, and they all smiled and urged Daiyu to go to the side hall to change into an official robe and take a look.

Daiyu was also eager to try, accompanied by the female officials in the palace, went to the side hall, and when she came out again, she became a "pretty gentleman" in a green robe.

Jia Cong said to Daiyu in a strange way: "I've seen Xiaolin Langzhong......"

Immediately afterwards, Baoyu, Jia Rong, and Jia Qiang also did the same, and they all saluted Daiyu, calling Xiaolin Langzhong and Xiaolin, which made Daiyu's face red to the root of her ears.

Liu Hong looked at Jia Cong and Daiyu, and suddenly sighed: "The royal sister is even more handsome than Brother Cong when she wears such a body!" ”

Jia Lian and the others nodded one after another, and they all felt that Daiyu was dressed like this in an official robe, and she was even more handsome than all the men in the Jia family.

Even Jia Zheng shook his head when he looked at his niece at this time, and he said to Lin Ruhai: "It's too similar, it's so similar!" At the beginning, Min Mei secretly wore her father's official uniform, just like today's niece, overpowering everyone in the Jia family. ”

……

Liu Hong invited everyone to the East Palace for lunch, and in the afternoon, Daiyu wore a green robe and official uniform, wearing a black veil on her head, accompanied by Jia Cong, went to the official department to register and receive the official certificate.

Later, he visited He Yaomin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Yunhe, the left attendant, and Haigangfeng, the right attendant, which was the first time to listen to Shangguan's instructions.

He Yaomin and the three of them naturally did not put up a stand for Daiyu like they did with other subordinates, they were all kind and kind, full of words of encouragement and advice.

In order to facilitate Daiyu's office, He Yaomin asked several female officials from the palace to serve as scribes. Everything is properly prepared, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is officially opened.

Accompanied by Jia Cong, Daiyu visited the officials of the Ministry of Rites with great interest, and waited until the evening to return to Rongguo Mansion by car.

When Daiyu, who was dressed in an official robe, walked into Rongxi Hall, Sanchun and the others naturally covered their mouths and exclaimed, even the old lady didn't expect her granddaughter to have such an opportunity.

She pulled Daiyu to her, touched the black gauze hat, touched the green robe official uniform, and looked incredulous: "Grandpa Tian, Yu'er is really going to be an official?" ”

"Ancestor, didn't the holy decree reach the mansion yesterday? Today is to go through the motions. ”

Baoyu couldn't understand the old lady's shock, a few days ago the emperor told his uncle about his cousin going to be an official, and sent all the holy decrees yesterday, what else is there to be surprised about.

"It's different, it's different, this is a serious court official!"

The old lady held Daiyu for a while, and her eyes, which were already a little cloudy, were revealed under the candlelight.

"It is not that there have been no women participating in court politics in all dynasties, but there has never been a precedent for women to officially become officials."

There have been more cases of women participating in court politics, but it is the first time that they have served as officials in the court like men.

The old lady who the emperor thinks is not clear, but Daiyu is an official, but it is the first time in ancient times, and it will be officially recorded in the history books.

The value of the Langzhong of the five products is higher than that of the princess of the edict, so Daiyu is no longer the daughter of the Lin family, nor is she a vassal of someone, but Lin Daiyu in the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and the name and surname are recorded in the history books.

Unlike himself, although he is the princess of the super county of the dynasty, there will be one sentence in the history books at most, so the wife of Jia Daishan, the king of Rongjun, Shi Shi......

The old lady didn't explain these differences to Baoyu, but just stroked the cyan official robe on Daiyu's body.

The little Wupinlangzhong couldn't get into her eyes before, but today she is a little jealous of her granddaughter's good life.

……

Although the establishment of the Department of Compulsory Education and the trial of the four-year compulsory education system in Daxia are hot, it is absolutely shocking that Princess Wen'an officially entered the court as an official.

In the past, officials from the DPRK and China used to come to Rongguo Mansion to visit Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Lin Ruhai and others, but this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was mostly to visit Daiyu, and most of them were officials from the Hanlin Academy.

The Department of Compulsory Education of the Ministry of Rites is still only on paper, according to the system of the imperial court, each of the six departments has one of the Lang Lang, and the five products are positive; One person outside the staff, from the fifth grade; The principal is one to two, and he is six products.

The Department of Compulsory Education now has only one of the chief officials, Daiyu, and the rest of the staff and directors are not yet complete.

can be recorded in the history books for an eternal event, which of these official positions is not coveted now?

The officials once asked the meaning of the palace, and the emperor directly handed over the power of electing officials to Liu Hong and Daiyu.

Taking advantage of Daiyu's just being crowned an official, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is an endless stream of people visiting Rongguo Mansion to congratulate him, and Jia Cong, who accompanied Daiyu to entertain guests, filled his stomach with tea alone.

When I took the car to the palace to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, there would be people coming over along the way, making Jia Cong's brain buzz.

This situation lasted for several days, Liu Hong and Daiyu after several discussions and discussions, and finally asked the Hanlin Academy to compile Xie Yong as a member of the Hanlin Academy, and selected two people from several alternate officials recommended by the Ministry of Literature and Literature to be Langzhong, and made up the establishment of the Compulsory Education Department.

At the end of August, the Department of Compulsory Education was formally established.

The first thing Daiyu did when she took office was to ask her father, the God of Wealth, Lin Ruhai, for silver, and Lin Ruhai was frightened as soon as she opened her mouth.

Two million taels of silver is only the first one.

"Yu'er, ......"

"Lord Lin, the person standing in front of you now is Lin Daiyu, the Compulsory Education Division of the Ministry of Rites, not your daughter Daiyu."

Daiyu's pretty face was full of solemnity, neither humble nor arrogant, but it made Lin Ruhai cry and laugh.

"Hahahaha...... Lord Lin...... Hahahaha......"

Jia Cong, who was watching the play on the side, couldn't help laughing, and saw Daiyu glaring at him, sitting on a chair and acting well.

"Okay, I'll shut up, and the two Lin adults will continue."

Lin Ruhai looked at her daughter with a strange expression, and finally reluctantly changed her identity from Daddy Lin to Lin Shangshu, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that the official doesn't give you approval, it's really that you want too much." The imperial court is now only planning to try compulsory education in the south and north of Zhili, build a school and a academy, and hire Mr. Fuzi, but it doesn't cost so much silver. ”

Daiyu took out another official document and handed it over: "Two million taels is not a casual nonsense between the lower officials and Lin Shangshu, this is the preliminary draft of the number and scale of schools in each county of Shuntianfu, as well as the scope covered. Not to mention the master's income, just for the construction of the school, a house needs 200,000 taels of silver. ”

According to the rules set by the emperor, the cost of compulsory education is 60% for the royal family and 40% for the household. Since Daiyu planned to take two million taels of silver from the household, plus the royal treasury, it would be five million taels.

Beizhili has jurisdiction over 11 prefectures such as Shuntian, Baoding and Hejian, and 14 prefectures such as Jinling, Suzhou and Yangzhou under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili.

The area and population of each province are different, and on average, the land of a province will get at least 150,000 to 200,000 taels of silver, and 5 million taels is enough.

Of course, this is not a matter of spending so much money every year, as long as you grasp the quality of the school, it is really not difficult to use it for decades or hundreds of years.

Spending 5 million a year to build two provinces will cover the entire territory of Bactria in six or seven years at most.

At that time, the annual expenditure was mainly for the school master's salary, the repair of the school building, and the renewal and replenishment of textbooks.

Lin Ruhai roughly calculated in his heart, five million taels of silver was really a little nervous.

However, the girl has to do big things, and he, as a father, will naturally not pull back. Anyway, the big head is the emperor's master, and the city department only sent 28 million taels of business tax a few days ago.

"How dare you ignore a hundred-year plan? Where is two million enough, the official will give Lin Langzhong three million, and Lin Langzhong will go to the palace to withdraw four and a half million from the inner treasury. A total of 7.5 million taels of silver is enough to cover the 25 prefectures in the south and north. ”

Syllable!

The big seal of the household department was covered with the paperwork, and Lin Ruhai handed it to his daughter in a comfortable mood.

Daiyu saw that the big seal was covered, so she gave her father a sweet smile. Say goodbye to Lin Shangshu and happily go to the palace to pit another father.

Jia Cong stayed, eating melons and watching dramas was just a side job, and he also had something serious to tell Lin Shangshu today.

I saw Jia Cong take out an official document from his sleeve, unfold it and put it in front of his uncle and father-in-law, pointed to the big seal of the household department that had not yet dried the ink, and said: "Lord Shangshu, there is also an official document for withdrawing silver, can you stamp it by the way?" ”

Boom!

Lin Ruhai only glanced at the official document, and immediately knocked on Jia Cong's skull angrily.

"When I'm what? God of Wealth? Where shall I conjure you two million taels of silver? ”

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows slightly: "A few days ago, the city boss sent the autumn tax, I heard Wen Ge Lao say, you dragged Your Majesty's sleeve and took out fifteen million taels of silver from Your Majesty's pocket." ”

"That can't stand such a flower! I snatch ...... from Your Majesty Ahem, it's not easy to get silver from Your Majesty, you all come to me one by one to ask for silver, and as soon as you open your mouth, it's hundreds of thousands and millions, and no matter how rich the household is, it can be hollowed out by you! ”

Lin Ruhai picked up the pen and crossed out the two million with blue ink to change it to one and a half million, and then stamped the household seal.

The corners of Jia Cong's mouth twitched, and he muttered in a low voice: "Lord Shangshu treats it differently, not only did he add a million to Sister Lin's amount, but I will cut it when it is my turn......"

Boom!

hit the skull again, knocking Jia Cong's broken thoughts back.

"Don't think I don't know, Jiangnan Shipyard has received several big orders, and the money earned from the Japanese people alone is enough to support this year's shipbuilding consumption, and this 1.5 million yuan is for you to build a new shipyard in Songjiang."

Lin Ruhai stuffed the official document into Jia Cong's hand, and waved his hand irritably to drive away: "Go, go, go, what should you do, don't bother me!" ”

All of them are debt collectors, these days because of the arrival of the city's business tax in Beijing, Master Lin is almost annoyed to death by the people who ask for money from various temples.

In order to bargain with the emperor for silver, he was cut off his head eighteen times and demoted thirty-six times by the irascible emperor, is it easy for him?

Finally, fifteen million taels of silver were needed to fill the treasury of the household, and in only a few days, the silver in the treasury was pulled away one cart after another.

Thinking that Bai Huahua's silver was being pulled away by a carload, Lin Caishen panicked in his heart......

Lin Ruhai routinely went to the household bank treasury to take a turn, and when he saw that the wooden box originally filled with silver was empty, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

No, how can the Household Treasury empty so many cash boxes? As soon as he gritted his teeth, he went to the Qinzheng Palace.

The emperor's heart will also be panicked, because Daiyu has just taken four and a half million taels of silver from him.

When he heard that the Hubu Shangshu Lin Ruhai Hall asked to see him, his face darkened.

"This guy will not be good when he comes, so he will say that I am not there, let him go back!"

"Your Majesty forgives me, the minister has come in."

Lin Ruhai held a piece of music in his hand and walked into the hall respectfully: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, the temples have taken 14 million taels of silver from the household department, and the household department has no money. He also asked His Majesty to borrow five million taels of silver from the minister for emergency purposes, and then return it to His Majesty when the tax enters Beijing in the summer of the next year. ”

The emperor's eyes are about to pop out, good fellow, fourteen million taels? Why don't you just shout 41 million taels?

Really, I don't know what the household spends? Seven million taels doubled all at once, how can the Hubu Shangshu of Great Xia be the same!

Listen to it, and borrow five million taels of silver from me. I haven't paid back what I borrowed last time, and I came again?

The living note official on duty in the palace glanced at the emperor who was blowing his beard and glaring, as well as the Hubu Shangshu who was helpless and miserable, and recorded on the paper with a brush: "On August 27 of the eighth year of Yuan You, at the beginning of the year, Lin Hai, the Hubu Shangshu, wanted to deceive (cross out) again...... Borrow five million taels of silver from the inner treasury ......"

At this time, a report from the inner servant came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Uncle Yongfeng asks to see you!" ”

The emperor temporarily gave up the confrontation with the Great Xia God of Wealth, and snorted coldly: "Pass! ”

"Minister Jia Cong pays a visit to Your Majesty...... Hey? Lin Shangshu is also here, that's right, you are the God of Wealth of the Dynasty, help settle the accounts......"

Before Jia Cong's words fell, the emperor chuckled in his heart.

Sure enough, Jia Cong respectfully submitted a note, and the first line reads "The Ministry of Industry's Plan for the Construction of Dengzhou, Songjiang, and Quanzhou Three Major Shipyards".

The emperor only glanced at the final cost budget of the official document, snapped the music together, and pointed at Lin Ruhai and Jia Cong and became angry: "You two together to bully me, one wants five million, the other wants three million, is it easy for me to save some silver?" Ah, I think about my silver every day, why don't I grab it! ”

The living room swished and wrote: "Another moment, Yongfeng Bo and Jia Cong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, entered the palace and wanted to support three million taels of silver in the inner treasury. The emperor was angry, and he was wronged, and Erweng's son-in-law deceived me......"

Jia Cong looked at his father-in-law, his eyes were full of surprise: Lord Yue, are you still ruthless, and you are here to squeeze the emperor's oil and water?

And Lin Ruhai's eyes when he looked at Jia Cong were also shocked and inexplicable: Your kid just asked for 1.5 million taels from me, and the blue batch is estimated to have not dried up, and he came to pit the emperor's silver?

It's not once or twice that my father-in-law came to squeeze the emperor's oil and water when he was fine, but Jia Cong really didn't expect to touch a piece, and he would regret running over a little.

However, the silver still has to be asked, and the three newly built shipyards of the Ministry of Industry are waiting for the rice to be cooked.

Secretly cheering himself up, Jia Cong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is no way for the minister, such as today, the army needs a powerful sailor from the north and south to go overseas to go overseas, and want to go to the West to declare the majesty of the Holy Monarch, and the sea ships and warships are obviously not enough." Jiangnan Shipyard received another order from the Wa State, and it was difficult to support the construction and maintenance of the two major naval divisions in the north and south for a while......"

In a word, there is a shortage of ships in Daxia, hurry up and make money, and the Ministry of Industry is in a hurry to build a good ship and go to sea!

The emperor is searching, and the title of the Monarch of the Holy Ming can definitely afford it.

Jia Cong only said it briefly, and he understood the problems that the Ministry of Industry was currently encountering.

After the departure of the second group of ships to go to sea after the summer harvest, the third group of ships that were originally scheduled to go to sea was temporarily shelved due to the lack of sea vessels.

Even the two naval divisions in the north and south that supported Wang Chenghai's expedition to the Japanese and Jia Yu's expedition to the south are now in a dilemma of lack of ships.

After the emperor calmed down, he looked at the music in his hand, and then asked, "You just want to build a new shipyard, should there be enough craftsmen?" ”

There's a play!

Jia Cong grinned: "Back to Your Majesty, when Lin Shangshu presided over the opening of the sea the year before last, he had already set up four technical schools in Dengzhou, Jinling, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou, specializing in cultivating skilled craftsmen for the imperial court. Later, the technical school was placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and the official document sent the day before yesterday said that in the past two years, the four technical schools have trained a total of 600 qualified craftsmen, and now everything is ready, and only the silver is owed. ”

"What? There are already six hundred craftsmen? ”

This number really shocked the emperor, the training of craftsmen is not easier than the study of the imperial examination, often a qualified craftsman has to go through several years of apprenticeship, are not the same to meet the initial requirements of the Ministry of Industry.

Under the tradition of starving the master to death for the apprentices, the master craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry like to keep their apprentices in the first place.

It is really surprising to train 600 qualified craftsmen in two years.

Jia Cong nodded and explained the teaching, reward and punishment mechanism of the four major technical schools. To have such a big result, in fact, there are three factors, honor, silver, and promotion space.
